2000 volvo s80 electrical shuts off while driving

Hello I have a Volvo that intermittently shuts off, I do not mean engine stalling! I mean electrical shut down. While driving I hear relays click and within seconds my dash shuts down and everything in car shuts off like the battery was dissconnected. When I try to start car nothing no electrical power at all. If I dissconnect the battery and hook it back up, car starts back up and is fine again. I installed a dead mans switch inline on the ground so that when this happens I can immediately cycle the switch and restart car. I previously had some other gremlins including battery discharge over a few days. This was corrected by changing the alarm siren.The sunroof still works intermittently which did not work at all until siren change. My cruise is also intermittent. I have removed all fuse boxes and inspected for any corrossion as I am thinking this is a ground issue, or possibly power. I am little stuck because the car is not throwing any codes. One other issue I have my dash information center show distance to empty and whatever messages but doesnt show any functions like gas mileage any more? if anybody has any ideas that would be great.

Your CCM (Climate Control Module) is dead, or asleep. Look in the fuse box at the left end of the dashboard and pull the fuse and see if it resets the CCM. The module may need to be reprogrammed or replaced.

My suggestion is that you take this to a Volvo mechanic, one who has experience with working on these 1999- Volvo models. They have a networked computer system that requires special tools to diagnose and download software into the modules.

Also, it is a good idea to have them perform a total software upgrade, it will address many issues, and may prevent other issues from occurring.

SOURCE: 1998 Volvo S70 stalls intermittently

Have tried getting quality gasoline at a reliable station? It sounds like water in your fuel system. Add a couple bottles of Iso-Heet fuel system dryer everytime you fill up the next few times, and that should cure it.

It could be a number of things. Fuel Flow problem, or electrical apparatus heats up and works inefficiently. You could start from the cheaper, less strainous solutions, in this order: Change Fuel Filter, and clean Nozzles. Fuel Pump, Air Mass Meter.

SOURCE: I have a 1995 Volvo 960 Sedan won't start

you need to replace the Park Neutral Safety Sensor on the bottom of the Transmission. Should only be a $125.00 part. Your battery and starter are fine. Replace it and iy will be fixed.

Hi my 2000 volvo s80 auto the engine stalls as soon as i try to slow down or get my feet of gas it stall can some one help please\r\nthank you

check the vacuum hose that runs from the brake booster to the intake manifold, if it is cracked or disconnected it can cause this to happen. check all other vacuum hoses and and the intake hose for air leaks. if no problem found replace the fuel filter, the engine may be getting starved if its clogged.

How my engine coles does my 2000 s80 volvo have

Hello Billy.
There are 98 engine codes listed for the S80. These are called "P" codes.
There are also body control, abs, supplimental restraint, door modules etc.
So there are hundreds of different codes in total.
I hope this is what you were asking.
Thank you for using FixYa.

2000 VOLVO S80 HAS A LARGE VACUUM LEAK. HOW DO I

In the past we have used starting fluid to find vacuum leaks. Start the engine, let it idle. Spray quick shots of starting fluid at your vacuum lines in isolated areas. When the starting fluid find the vacuum leak the engine will react to it... usually by going up in rpm. Depending on your engine computer, it may stall the engine. Either way you will find your vacuum leak. Get starting fluid or "ether" at Autozone or O'Reilly.

In my 2000 volvo s80, the radio stop working and the door lock button and the dome lights are intermittent. I checked all the fuses and are all good.

Try resetting the electrical system by locking and unlocking the doors with your key in the driver's door 5 times in a row. A service manager at a Volvo dealer showed me this after they did some work on my car and on the way home the sunroof wouldn't close.

I have a 2001 S80 that I have to reset the electrical system like this every time I disconnect the battery. All kinds of stuff stops working...sun roof, door locks, lights, radio, windows, etc. Just reset like described and everything should start working again.

Good luck.
